 Assemblywoman Audra Strickland Serving the Thirty Seventh District that includes Camarillo, Fillmore, Los Angeles, Moorpark, Ojai, Santa Paula, Simi Valley, and Thousand Oaks Moorpark, CA. - Today, State Assemblywoman Audra Strickland announced her candidacy for Ventura County Treasurer-Tax Collector, a seat that is being vacated by current Treasurer-Tax Collector Larry Matheney, who is retiring. "As the sitting County Treasurer-Tax Collector and having worked with Audra Strickland for the past five years, I know better than anyone that Audra is well-qualified in the most important parts of the job -- taking care of the public. In the areas that matter most, Audra Strickland is well qualified to be our next Treasurer-Tax Collector,” stated Larry Matheney. Joining Matheney in endorsing Strickland, Supervisor Peter Foy made special note of Strickland’s ongoing efforts in the area of reform and accountability by highlighting her experience fighting waste, fraud and abuse within state bureaucracy. "Audra Strickland has served in the Assembly, served on the state's premier oversight agency -- the Little Hoover Commission, and serves as the Vice Chairwoman on the Assembly Committee on Accountability and Administrative Review, and as a member of the Joint Committee on Improving State Government. I can't think of anyone better to serve as our County Treasurer-Tax Collector to protect taxpayers." Strickland responded, “I look forward to the opportunity to fight on behalf of the taxpayer and their hard-earned dollars. I also hope to improve confidence in our public servants by continuing to support enhanced accountability and transparency at all levels of government. I am pleased to have the support of the outgoing Treasurer-Tax Collector and so many city councilmembers, local elected officials and our community’s leaders,” said Strickland. “Their trust and confidence in my abilities is truly humbling.” Ventura County Assessor Dan Goodwin stated, "I have worked closely with Audra Strickland over the last five years and know she has both sound judgment and an outstanding record of protecting the best interest of taxpayers. As the Assessor, I work very closely with the Treasurer-Tax Collector's office and Audra will serve our County well in this position." The primary election will be held on June 8, 2010.
